Has the app been updated? I cannot find where to select the time limit for a random game online. The default is 10 minutes on the Android App. Are only 10 min games allowed on the Android App?

You hit the time control, it's a button, and it will give you preset options.

If you want something other than the presets, click More.. and from there you can use Custom to create a control

Somebody else had this problem last week. It's not obvious how to get to a place to change the time control without starting a game.

You have to hit "New Game" to be offered the chance to change the time control.

I understand the confusion. I unintentionally started several games before I figured it out.

Perfect, thank you so much!

Late to the convo, but I did the same thing as @notmtwain and started many games until I figured this out. I have not found a way to change the length of the "Play Online" default from 10 min v Random, though.

 

As soon as you create a Custom Game, the top default changes to that.  I recently tested a Daily game and now mine is a 7 day per move Daliy game.
